IMPROVEMENT IN FURNITURE-SPRINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 188,636, dated March L D, 1877; application filed December. 16, 1876.

' and smaller coils at the bottom, except the base or bottom coil, which is made larger and and of an elliptical shape, thus enabling the spring to be more easily secured to the slat.

In the drawing, Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations at right angles to each other, and Fig. 3 a bottom view of my improved furniture-spring.

The same letters in the difi'erent figures refer to the same parts.

H represents the several coils of my spring, increasing in size as they approach the top, all secured together in the usual manner. The base or bottom coil, however, is made of increased size and of elliptical shape, the short diameter beingA B, and the long diameter being 0 D. This construction gives a more secure base to the spring, and enables it to be the more securely fastened to the slats of the furniture.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

A furniture-spring having an elongated or elliptical base-coil, substantially as described.

HORACE H. HOLMES.
